He was detained in the Donbass and charged with involvement in a terrorist organization, as well as illegal possession and carrying of firearms and ammunition. This was reported by the lawyer of the convicted Viktor Cheguz.

He noted that the prosecutor at the court said that the so-called "Lugansk People's Republic" is a terrorist organization, in which Ageev entered into a contract.

At the same time, the prosecutor's office asked for his client 12 years of imprisonment, with confiscation of his property for a combination of crimes.

At the same time, according to Chevguz, this qualification is erroneous and the defense intends to appeal the verdict both on qualification issues and as punishment.

Recall, as reported URA-Inform, the investigation found that a serviceman of the armed forces of the Russian Federation Viktor Ageyev in March 2017 joined the terrorist groups, where he served as a machine gunner of a separate "reconnaissance company". In May 2017, as part of a sabotage group, he moved to the territory under control of the Ukrainian authorities Novoaydarsky district, where he was detained by Ukrainian servicemen. In July 2017 Ageev confirmed that he was sent to the east of Ukraine after signing a contract for service in the Armed Forces of Russia.
